REVOLUBLE TABLE FOR DOUGH-BRAKES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 795,081, dated July 18, 1905,

App icati filed May 16, 1905. Serial No. 260.636.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT C. WANK, a citizen of the United States,residing at St. Joseph, in the county of Buchanan and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Revoluble Tables for Dough- Brakes; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in dough-brake machines commonly used by bakers in which it has been necessary to give a sheet of dough a half-turn after it returns from the brake.

The object of my improvements is to provide a circular pivoted table adapted to be revolved on wheels or ball-bearings in a frame the sides and front of which are of corresponding form and provided with a retaining up- Ward flange.

I attain my object by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a cross-section of the table-frame at the front of the rolls, the ballbearings thereon, and the circular plate that serves as a table for the dough; and Fig. 2 is a plan of the device, showing the plate pivotally attached to a cross-piece of its frame.

Similar letters refer to similar parts in the two views. v

A A are the frame-pieces of a machine, B B the ordinary rolls adapted to operate at the front thereof, and 6 b are table-supporting rods.

0 is a frame circular at the sides and front and provided with a flange D around the top of its outer edge, preferably about three inches in height, said table-frame being attachable rigidly to a brake-frame by bolts cl [Z or any suitable means.

Table E is a circular plate of steel or any suitable material pivoted to the central crosspiece O of frame O by pin H and adapted to be revolved within said frame upon ball-bearings 7i; 7;.

From the foregoing description it will be readily seen that by the use of this revoluble plate the labor of lifting the dough is dispensed with, thus permitting the handling of a much larger amount of material at one time than on a stationary table, that by reason of the flange or rim of the table-frame extending around in front of the table the usual large waste of dusting-flour is prevented, and that the danger of the hands of the operator being caught and injured by the rolls in making half-turns of dough is wholly obviated.

This frame and plate may be easily attached to any return or automatic brake, and the revoluble plate being simply attached to the frame by pin H' can be readily detached.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination with the frame and rolls of a brake, of a table-supporting frame, its upwardly-projecting flange, and a central crosspicce, the whole adapted to be rigidly fastened to the brake-frame, the supporting-rods, ballbearings operating on said table-frame and a circular plate pivotally attached to said crosspiece and revoluble on said ball-bearings, substantially as shown and set forth.

2. In a dough-brake table a frame circular in front and sides provided with a cross-piece, an upwardly-turned flange and ball-bearings, and a circular plate pivoted on said cross-piece and revoluble on said ball-bearings, substantially as described and shown.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ALBERT O. WANK.
